host: but how do you stimulate jobs, steve? caller: well, what they tried to do around detroit, a lot of autoworkers were being laid off. they had government programs that were giving them training in other fields of heating and air conditioning and things like that. i know a lot of people -- i totally believe in the free market system, but i think there's a lot of programs that the government could put out in the major metropolis cities or whatever that would help the unemployed people that don't have the skills to get certain jobs to help them along, to get skills. because with school being college and that being so expensive these days and things like that, i would do that. i would say medicare part b, i don't like that, because they're talking about cuts. i would actually get rid of that. i know bush signed that in, and that helps the drug companies. since they can't negotiate prices, i think that's kind of crazy. congress and the house, they actually put down a bill a few months back or whatever that it would penalize u.s.
